The purpose of this discussion forum is to help foster communication about the use of techonology in the class and how to appropriately and effectively integrate technology into the curriculum. This ongoing discussion will help us devise a plan to act on our strengths and improve our weaknesses, so that we may impart on our students the analytical, problem-solving and technological skills necessary to function in today's technological environment. We are finding that our students, as digital natives, are coming in with a great deal of exposure and experience with technology in various formats. It will now be our job to teach our students to be responsible, inquisitive, productive, analytical, and ethical when using technology. We, too, will be learners on this journey, and our students' needs and experiences will help us guide instruction.
